Last I heard during my cycle they were raising in-state tuition, but maybe that changed and they're still cheap.alwayssunnyinfl wrote:All of the Florida state schools.Hank Moody wrote:UB?keg411 wrote:Rutgers-Newark and Seton Hall offer the exact same prospects as Rutgers-Camden.

Now, of the schools that charge under $20k/year, how difficult is it to get residency? At both Rutgers schools, the only thing you need to get residency is sign a lease for the upcoming year. So no one is paying OOS tuition 1L year. Whereas at UF/FSU/UGA/UB, I'd bet half of the student population is paying OOS rates 1L year. (Not the I recommend going to any of these schools as a OOS student -- the exact opposite -- but it's still a point).

Most of the South/Midwest/West publics are under 20K per year in-state (this might not be true for long, though). And if you can't get in-state tuition you probably should not be going to most public law schools anyway since you won't have ties.
Seton Hall should be closed, no doubt about that. But 75K in debt is still higher than the starting salaries of most RUC grads. I tend to follow the rule that debt upon graduation should be no more than starting salary. At this RUC and RUN have failed most of their grads, even discounting CoL debt. Perhaps they should merge the schools and use the redundancies to cut costs.
